Happy Easter!

I hope that everyone is having a great Easter weekend. I just got back from a delicious breakfast at Cracker Barrel... what better way to celebrate! (Well, that and an Easter basket full of chocolate).

Yesterday I got the chance to work with the nicest family. They had four of the most well behaved and easy kids! I really hit it off with them, especially V, who showed me her awesome American Girl collection. Here's a sneak peek (click to see it larger)!

Sunday

My first session on Sunday was with a really fun family... I love when I get to work with those! Mom and dad were so laid back, and little K & M were great to work with. K is at one of my favorite ages... you can really see a child's personality coming through around this time. I learned that my baby beanbag is much loved by older siblings as well!

Then I got the pleasure of working with baby K and his family. Of course, I think all of my clients are well loved... but let me tell you... this baby is LOVED! It was so sweet to see the interaction between him and his mama and grandma. He was full of smiles and made my job a breeze. You can tell he's dying to crawl, as is by this picture!

Enjoy your sneak peeks!

Twins

Are L & C not two of the most beautiful baby girls?! They are almost 3 months old and I got the opportunity to work with them and their mom and dad today. They lived a gorgeous old house with tons of windows and fun, photographable decor. Any photographer will vouch for the fact that 3 month twins make for quite a challenging shoot! L & C weren't sleepy during my visit, but I got a ton of eye contact and many sweet shots. I can't wait for mom and dad to see the rest... I think they'll be quite pleased. But in the meantime, one of my favorites so far. I love the little laugh.

Babies galore...

February really has been a month of babies! Not that I mind!! I love photographing the various stages in baby's first year. Meet baby "T". He's an older newborn... about 6 weeks. He gave us the best of both worlds... lots of alert eye contact as well as a nice deep sleep, perfect for curling up into sweet poses. Enjoy your sneak peek, mom and dad!

Brothers

Babylegs...

This is one of my Growing Plan babies, "V". I photographed her at 3 months and now at 7 months. I love first year babies because it's so much fun to see how they've changed. I was hoping V's mom had Babylegs (for those of you not familiar, they are those insanely adorable leggings) and she had a whole stash! Nothing beats a chubby naked baby with some hip legwear. Here's a sneak peek!

A busy, busy weekend...

This weekend I went down to Connecticut to visit with my good friend and fellow photographer, Erin Bell. We had a few fun, "creative shoots" which were really a breath of fresh air. I was feeling a bit of a winter rut and this weekend helped to energize and inspire me. Saturday's session included 7-week old twin baby boys. It was an amazing, rewarding and challenging experience. Newborns are TOUGH! We spent a good 3 hours there, but the results made every second totally worth it. Stay tuned for some shots from Sunday, which took place in the cool downtown area of Norwich, Connecticut (as well as some very interesting other locales!)

Sweet baby C....

This family is a repeat client of mine, and I love working for them. They are just such a cool, laid back family... and then have a beautiful house which I really enjoy working in! This is baby C, who I first photographed at 2 weeks. I got so many sweet shots of her, but this one just stuck out. I love her expression, the little finger in the mouth, and the bracelet. Enjoy your sneak peek, mom and dad!
